The company

Rivage Investment is a portfolio management company based in Paris near the Place de la Bourse, in London and New York, with more than 50 employees. Founded in 2010, we are pioneers in the private debt sector. We have successfully launched a debt platform for infrastructure projects, energy and public sector financing (hospitals, cities, etc.) and manage €8 billion in assets on behalf of our institutional clients.

As a major player in this segment of the debt fund market, we are continuing to grow by developing new products, tools and methodologies that meet the needs of investors, and we are looking for high-potential employees to support this development.

Function

You will work closely on the day-to-day issues of an investment fund and contribute your expertise to achieving business objectives: management of the information system. Our platform is 100% proprietary, giving employees responsibility and a 360° view of the business, from theoretical mathematical models to industrial implementation and tool performance monitoring, in direct contact with all business lines, as part of a dynamic, close-knit team.

The position does not require or offer technically sophisticated projects, but does require extensive technical versatility (front to back) to develop robust solutions without side effects.

The position is business-driven: what you want is to get projects off the ground and deliver them successfully within the allotted time frame, as well as keep them running smoothly. Finally, you will be working in a sector that makes sense to you and is relevant in the current context of climate and energy transition: renewable energy infrastructure, waste treatment, impact and socially responsible financing.
